I don't have vertigo, but I am having somewhat similar symptoms. For about 10 months I have been getting headaches, lightheaded, I fall down-often! I fall about 3-4 times a day and it's increasing. I have muscle and joint pain in my legs. Have been tested for many different things, but none were the diagnosis for me. One doctor thought that depression caused all of this. I also know that I am not depressed, besides what has come from being 14 and having 10 months spent on caution and doctors, but it certainly did not cause it! I'm sorry that I dnn't have any personal answers for you, especially because at the moment i'm seeking my own.
Good luck!

hello, I am a 29 year old and I started having problem with dizziness and falling down. Mine ended up being MS. Not saying you have MS, I have many other problems but that is something to look into. Also, have you had your enter ear checked out? Or your blood pressure?

I also was just diagnosed w/ benign positional vertigo and while it's not that bad, I am only 24 and looking forward to a life of having it re occur is not fun!

I think there are some surgeries for the more extreme cases.

hi there im 17 and i have symptoms like that
i ahve high blood pressure and i get dizzy from standing up 2 fast

Hi, I am 35 years old and have been dealing with episodes for the past 7 years of headaches behind the right eye, balled up muscle stiffness, difficutly walking fatigue, neurgenic bladder, dizziness. The summer of 2007 the dizziness has been so bad and I had a hard time staying awake the entire summer. I went to a neurologist which i told her my symptoms and she did a Brain MRI and discovered I have two leasions in the pons area of my brain and thats why i'm having such a hard time staying awake. The doctor put me on adderall to keep me awake. It seems to be working fine but, I'm still having issues of dizziness which can last every day, lasting for an hour to 8 hours a day and has been going on for almost a year now and doesn't seem to be going away. I do know that If I don't get enough rest, or I'm out in the cold it will bring on my other symptoms of balled up muscle stiffness.

The doctor is thinking of putting in the catagory of Mixed connective tissue disease for now. All I want is for the dizziness to stop. Has anyone had this problems? Especially the longs periods of dizziness? I have had my inner ear checked and Have been to an ENT Doc and they said everything was ok.

Please Help my boyfriend!!!!! He was sick of like two weeks with a sore throt. He now has clogged ears. Can you tell me what to get him. over the counter medicine. I think He might need a antibiotic but he doesnt want to go to the hospital is their any thing I can get him with out seeing a doctor?

To all you having dizziness-vertigo followed by headaches at times. I may have some answers. I too suffer and have suffered these. If I bend my head a certain way, I fall down or I will just trip on nothing and fall! In addition, I was extremely dizzy for two years. The doctors did every test imaginable. The ear nose and throat doctor didn't even find anything--but I found out through my own research online that I had a crystal in my inner ear that came loose and it causes the dizziness and falling symptoms. I went to a physical therapist--they did this procedure to get the crystal back into place and voila! My dizziness was gone for several months. But it goes back out now and then so now I just have my husband do the procedure and sometimes it works. Some people can have this crystal out and put back in place for good--others have to keep going back for the procedure--it just depends on the person. It is amazing how a simple little thing can be so annoying.It took 3 doctors--$600 for an X-Ray,Blood work up, MRI and Balance tests and the cure was a $35 physical therapy appointment!! I also have a severe hormone imbalance--estrogen dominance syndrome. The imbalance (too much estrogen) actually causes nausea, vertigo and is followed by dizziness and migraines.(but the sypmtoms go after the migraine is gone) That one takes Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy--(PROGESTERONE) otherwise the doctors will put you on anti-depressants every time!!I was suicidal until my doctor gave me HRT--it was like a miracle. So use the internet and type in your symptoms--sometimes you can figure it out yourself-doctors are only "practicing" and they don't have all the aswers either. Good Luck.
